After the Clasico match, Xavi Hernandez barely spoke to his players. He gave them words of encouragement in the changing room after the game. The blow was tough. The Barcelona coach will speak in more detail with the group next Wednesday. He will analyze the match with his coaching staff. Xavi watched the first half of the Clasico carefully. He analyzed the second half with his team of collaborators. He will not share his impressions with the team until he sees and analyzes the match as a whole. The joint analysis will take place on Wednesday because Xavi still doesn’t have all the conclusions in his notebook. The team is divided between starters and substitutes on the days after the match. They do different physical work. The discussion about the Clasico will take place on Wednesday. The team will enjoy two days off, Monday and Tuesday. Barcelona does not have a match until Saturday at Anoeta. It will be a break to recharge and reflect on teammate Gundogan’s self-criticism. Xavi said in his press conference that his team did not deserve the loss. He explained the loss in terms of efficiency in front of the goal. We will have to see if the cold viewing of the match changes his speech.
